LSHTM Call for Applications: Infectious Disease ‘Omics Course

The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) is inviting applications to the course titled “Infectious Disease ‘Omics”.

Infectious diseases, such as HIV-AIDS, malaria, pneumonia and tuberculosis, account for 25% of global mortality and more than half of all deaths in children under the age of five years. The genetic epidemiology of these diseases can be complex, especially as they may involve several genomes, including the host, pathogen(s) and a vector. There is also a need to look beyond the genome to consider other ‘omes, such as the transcriptome, in a more systems biology framework.

Date: December 4 -7, 2023

Location: Hybrid: London, UK or Online

Prerequisites:

• This course focuses on bioinformatic, population genetic, statistical and genetic epidemiological methods for analysing large genetic datasets. 
• Participants would be expected have some familiarity with molecular biology, and relevant statistical concepts such as a linear regression.

Course fee:

• The fee for 2023 is £575.
